mr nienaber go to either one you will have a ball.chunk is quite a bit harder 60 yards and to do well you need a heavy chunk gun and good solid chunk.the bench shoots are a ball also- 30 yards. almost any muzzle loader is fine. I feel in love with chunk because top shooter I just happened to start shooting with are great.they tell you everything if you ask and will gladly show you the equipment.they will tell you who made it -what powder load - TYPE OF POWDER-ball size and patch they use. you can see the sights and targets they use.its all fun for them on who is the best shot.

T. Nienaber
You are absolutely correct. It is not nearly so complicated as it sounds, or I wouldn't be able to do it. I see you're from Northern Kentucky surely you can't be that far away. I will send you an email with some shoot dates and some other information. Hopefully you can come up and see us and of course may be give us some shooting lessons. Lord knows I need them. In the meantime, stay safe stay warm.

Robin,

Thanks! I plan on coming up next month. Hopefully the weather breaks, as far as the shooting I wouldn't plan on me giving any lessons.

Hello
22 February is drawing ever closer. I think were going to try paying out the top three X's on each relay. And Keeping score on all targets with prizes for the top three overall aggregates. Hope see a lot of you there. I think will have a lot of fun and I certainly hope the weather cooperates in the meantime, be safe.

Robin, how is your match fee set up?

mmprwarner · « **Reply #80 on:** February 06, 2014, 03:58:57 PM »

We shoot a 10 shot match at a cost of $20. The club keeps a percentage for operating cost and the rest is paid back in monetary prizes, trophies, etc., depending on what shoot your attending.

I just took a look at the 10 day forecast and keeping in mind as an old Shawnee Indian told me, weatherman speak with forked tongue. It looks like we could be in the upper 40s or lower 50s. On the 22nd for the table shoot at the AW Coon farm. Right now they're calling for it to be dry through the day raining that night. I would suggest you at least bring your rubber boots with you, AW has done some wonderful things with the drainage down there this time he year never know what you’re going to get hope see you all there in the meantime, stay safe stay warm and have a blessed day.

Ok folks, someone ask what time we were starting Saturday. Good question. Thanks tables will be set up by 9:30 AM. I would like to see most people started shooting by 10 o'clock or so, that should get everything done and still get us home at a pretty decent hour. Be sure to come rain or shine, hot or cold. If the weather's not real cooperative will a be shooting from the barn. I talked to AW today and we have contingency plans. Hope to see you all on Saturday.

Boy, this sounds real interesting!

I picked up a table shoot pamphlet and sample target at the Conner Longrifle show last weekend.

I have a couple of questions.

1- Are shaders allowed over the sights?
2- I am a little fuzzy on the use of the spotters. Are they as large as the target itself and stapled or taped on the face of the target? Or is the spotter a smaller aiming spot taped or stapled upon the target face?

I do realize what the function of the spotter is, just not sure of the above (the actual mechanics of its size and placement or attachment to the target itself).

Thanks for any clarification. Hope to join you all at Coons farm soon!

shaders are allowed

spotter is an aiming point

you place actual target where your group is hitting

look back in this post to see an actual target

Target(s) are on p.1 of this thread. What can be hard to understand is just how the targets are placed and shot. I've read some pretty good descriptions of the process, but never a step-by-step narrative of just what an individual chunk or table shooter does. It can be a little hard to understand for someone who has never seen it done. Time for a tutorial? Maybe one already exists somewhere. Time for a video?

Skychief · « **Reply #86 on:** February 21, 2014, 10:42:05 PM »

Thanks for the replies guys. I looked at the photo on page one. It looks to me that the spotter is a full sheet with an aiming point that is applied upon the face of the scoring target.

If this is the case, is it taped to the scoring target by the shooter or stapled to it by a competitor as targets are switched (as per the pamphlet I read)?

Thanks for further clarification.

spiderman852 · « **Reply #87 on:** February 22, 2014, 12:59:04 AM »

We are having a shoot tommorrow, I'll try to take a step by step photo progression.

Hope to see some of you there! Mike

rhbrink · « **Reply #88 on:** February 22, 2014, 01:14:42 AM »

Please do a photo step by step of the process if at all possible. In about a month I'm going to do a Table shoot at the monthly Novelty shoot at Fort Osage Muzzleloaders. I think that I have got most of the idea in mind but just how you post the targets and shot them is a little fuzzy.

Just got back from the table shoot at Allen Coon's range. What a party! Thanks go out to Robin and Allen for putting the party together and hosting it. Not only did 19 shooters show up but the weather must have been ordered by a higher authority, 52* and sunny on February 22. I would hazard a guess that a good time was had by all, it just didn't sound like it after a few shots that turned out to be mis-directed. There were a lot of spiders killed and a lot that escaped unscathed. The best part was seeing everyone again. Looking forward to the next one in May.

Glad the weather cooperated with you guys Mark. Looking forward to more posts about the shoot and hopefully a picture or two from any that attended!

spiderman852 · « **Reply #91 on:** February 23, 2014, 05:16:36 PM »

Here are some pics of the shoot. I will try to explain the process of posting targets.

We use a piece of cardboard that measures 14" x 14" then each shooter puts his own spotter on the cardboard. The idea (as in chunk shootn') is to have your group hit somewhere off the spotter so you don't tear up your aiming point.

We then shoot three practice shots before placing a target in your group.

Here is target #1 posted and ready to go to the staging rack

Here is the staging rack and our host A.W. Coon. The spotters have targets posted and the guns are loaded (unprimed,of course). They are ready to go down range after the group before them get there shots off and the range is shut down.

Here is the target rack. The pieces off cardboard fit in slotted rails.

[
Here are some of the guys posting and returning spotters. This is where it gets a little confusing because it is just a process of relays. We have 13 (counting practice shots) so there will be 13 trips down range to post and return spotters. We all take turns walking down range. Some people enjoy the walk, some don't. It really doesn't matter. Some times one person will take 3 spotters from the staging rack. Sometimes there will be 6 guys walking down range. Just keep it flowing. Some times guys are "visiting" and loose track of the rotation. Oh, well he'll get in the next relay. It is advised to have the guys mark up on there spotters and to put there name on it. The spotters will be handled by different guys all day, so they have to know which way is up when putting spotter in the target rack.

Guys at the staging rack

The gallery!

I hope this helps some to understand the way we do it in S.E. Indiana. Of couse you can do it the way that best fits your situations.

We pay back 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each relay also pay top three for overall agg score

A good time was had by all!

Mike

I had a great time yesterday at the shoot! Thanks to everyone, and I can't wait until the next!!

Great bunch of guys and a really laid back shoot!

rhbrink · « **Reply #93 on:** February 23, 2014, 05:52:14 PM »

Great pictures thanks for the information. It is a bit clearer now. I don't suppose that there might be a little bit of "heckling" going on? I can just imagine a guy taking his sweet time to shoot waiting of the wind or light or something and a few fellow competitors waiting in the wings getting a little impatient might offer some friendly encouragement or something?

Richard

Skychief · « **Reply #94 on:** February 23, 2014, 08:11:46 PM »

Thanks a lot for posting this information Mike. Crystal clear now!

If a fellow uses a gun that hits poa/poi, can he use a fresh spotter in the same relay as his spotter gets shot up? Otherwise, I see that a gun that doesn't shoot to its sights as beneficial.

Thanks much again!

smokinbuck · « **Reply #95 on:** February 23, 2014, 09:22:34 PM »

Skychief,I don't know of any rule that says you can't change your spotter but I'm sure Mike or Robin will chime in. The most beneficial way to shoot this is to shoot outside of your spotter and use the same one throughout. My first shoot I shot into my spotter and after cutting a quarter sized hole out of the upper lef it changed my sight picture and I started shooting low right. It didn't dawn on me what was happening until later. Consistency is really important.

spiderman852 · « **Reply #96 on:** February 23, 2014, 10:23:14 PM »

I don't know of any rule that says you can't change your spotter,but I would not do it! A lot of the guys are using a specific gun just for this shoot. Just adjust your sights to hit high ,low,left or right, then practice!!! All the guys are getting better at this game each time we hold a shoot. The competition is getting fierce!

Our next shoot is May 17

Next installment? Scoring, maybe? $:-\$

smokinbuck · « **Reply #98 on:** February 23, 2014, 11:04:54 PM »

Kermit,
The scoring is done the same as with a chunk match. Each target is measured from X center to center of hole and the total of 10 measurements is the string measure. In this match each of the 10 matches places 1-3 and there is an aggregrate of all 10 that also places 1-3.
Mark

Kermit · « **Reply #99 on:** February 23, 2014, 11:35:03 PM »

So does one measure from center X to farthest edge of hole and subtract half the caliber? Gotta be some method for getting the center point.
